Computer media develop progressively day by day. In the process of designing architecture, the employment of digital model seems to become more significant while the traditional physical model have still been used. However, the physical model had some unique characteristics which digital one has not. And those characteristics were what we intended to discover and put into the digital modeling e...

Characteristics of the physical environment that influence child development are discussed. Topics include behavioral toxicology, noise, crowding, housing and neighborhood quality, natural settings, schools, and day care settings. Socioemotional, cognitive, motivation, and psychophysiological outcomes in children and youths are reviewed. Necessary methodological and conceptual advances are intr...
